Dr. Barbara E. Murphy, President of Johnson State College Joins Amethyst Iniative

President Murphy explains why she joined with other college and university presidents in the Amethyst Iniative to call for public discussion about underage drinking issues:

"I support a national and objective dialogue about the drinking age because we have not had one yet. I believe that young adults need to learn responsibility for alcohol consumption as they are learning about constructing mature relationships, choosing partners and friends, exploring their life's work, and living in community."
